Thank you for your feedback and well wishes! My friends encouraged me to launch my deviant art page so I could share some of my pictures. Photography is a hobby I've always wanted to get into, and I'm thankful for any feedback or advice that you give. I've recently purchased my first SLR (a used Canon Rebel EOS T1i/500D) after saving for a year, and I'm having a lot of fun taking my first steps beyond the limits of my Olympus compact camera.
So again, thank you. Your feedback is welcome. I hope you enjoy.
